[0038] In order to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through the following specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The description is as follows:

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 4 , as shown in the figure: The utility model provides a side-face luminous transaction card 1, which at least includes a shading panel 11, a shading back panel 12, a light guide frame 13, a flexible electric control carrier board 14, an inductive transmission unit 15, a transaction processing control unit 16 and a light-emitting unit 17.

[0040] The light shielding back plate 12 corresponds to the light shielding panel 11 .

[0041] The light guide frame 13 is arranged between the shading panel 11 and the shading back plate 12, and the light guide frame 13 includes a first surface 131, a second surface 132, an annular light-entering side end surface 133 and an annular light-emitting side end surface 134. The first surface 131 is located on the top surface of the light guide frame 13 and is combined with the shading panel 11, and the second surface 132 is located on the bottom surface of the light guide frame 13 and is combined with the shading back plate 12. The annular light-entering side end surface 131 is arranged on the inner periphery of the light guide frame 13, and the annular light-emitting side end surface 134 is arranged on the outer periphery of the light guide frame 13. Through the cooperation of the shading panel 11 and the shading back plate 12, a horizontal light source path 135 is formed between the annular light-entering side end surface 133 and the annular light-emitting side end surface 134.

[0042] The flexible electric control carrier 14 is disposed inside the light guide frame 13 and is combined between the light shielding panel 11 and the light shielding back plate 12 .

[0043] The inductive transmission unit 15 is electrically connected to the flexible electric control carrier 14 and is located between the light shielding panel 11 and the light shielding back plate 12 . The inductive transmission unit 15 senses at least one payment device (eg, an inductive reader) to obtain power.

[0044] The transaction processing control unit 16 is electrically connected to the flexible electric control carrier 14 and is located between the shading panel 11 and the shading backplane 12. The transaction processing control unit 16 receives the power transmitted by the inductive transmission unit 15 to perform a transaction and generates a transaction signal according to the transaction result; wherein the transaction processing control unit 16 is a microcontroller, a central processing unit, an integrated circuit chip or a logic circuit that stores personal identity information, account information and transaction information.

[0045] The light-emitting unit 17 is electrically connected to the flexible electric control carrier 14 and is located between the shading panel 11 and the shading back panel 12, and the light-emitting unit 17 corresponds to the annular light-entering side end surface 133. The light-emitting unit 17 receives the power transmitted by the inductive transmission unit 15 and is driven by the transaction signal of the transaction processing control unit 16, so that the light source of the light-emitting unit 17 passes through the annular light-entering side end surface 133 and the horizontal light source path 135 and then is emitted from the annular light-emitting side end surface 134.

[0046] When in use, the side-end-illuminated transaction card 1 can be brought close to the payment device, so that the inductive transmission unit 15 senses the payment device to obtain power, and the power is provided to the transaction processing control unit 16 and the light-emitting unit 17, and the transaction processing control unit 16 performs integrated calculation processing and generates the transaction signal according to the result of the transaction content, and at the same time, the transaction processing control unit 16 transmits the transaction signal to the light-emitting unit 17. When the light-emitting unit 17 receives the transaction signal from the transaction processing control unit 16, the light-emitting unit 17 is driven by the transaction signal to emit light from the annular light-incoming side end surface 133 and the transverse light source path 135 and then from the annular light-emitting side end surface 134, so that the side-end-illuminated transaction card 1 has the effect of emitting light from the side end surface (the three-dimensional surface of the side-end-illuminated transaction card 1), so as to serve as a transaction reminder for the side-end-illuminated transaction card 1, thereby improving the safety and convenience of transactions.

[0047] In addition, since the side-emitting transaction card 1 of the present invention adopts side-emitting light, the shading panel 11 and the shading back panel 12 can be full-screen designs when printing patterns, and there is no need to reserve a flat frame for light emission during production. Therefore, the complexity and accuracy of production can be greatly reduced, thereby achieving an improvement in the yield rate during production.

[0048] In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the utility model, it is different from the above embodiments in that the shading panel 11 includes a panel color layer 111 and a panel transparent layer 112, the panel color layer 111 is combined with the first surface 131, and the panel transparent layer 112 is stacked on the top surface of the panel color layer 111, the shading backplane 12 includes a backplane color layer 121 and a backplane transparent layer 122, the backplane color layer 121 is combined with the second surface 132, and the backplane transparent layer 122 is stacked on the bottom surface of the backplane color layer 122, the panel color layer 111 and the backplane color layer 121 are color materials or printed with patterns, wherein the panel color layer 111, the panel transparent layer 112, the backplane color layer 121 and the backplane transparent layer 122 can be made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0049] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, a full-page pattern design can be printed on the panel pigment layer 111 of the shading panel 11 and the back panel pigment layer 121 of the shading back panel 12 during production, and then the panel transparent layer 112 and the back panel transparent layer 122 are used as protection for the panel pigment layer 111 and the panel transparent layer 112 respectively, without reserving a flat frame for light emission, thereby greatly reducing the complexity and accuracy of production and improving the yield during production.

[0050] In addition, the panel color layer 111, the panel transparent layer 112, the back panel color layer 121, the back panel transparent layer 122, the light guide frame 13 and the flexible electric control carrier 14 can be combined by cold bonding technology; in this way, the shading panel 11, the shading back panel 12 and the light guide frame 1 can be prevented from warping, the flexible electric control carrier 14 can be prevented from deforming, and the electrical characteristics of the inductive transmission unit 15, the transaction processing control unit 16 and the light-emitting unit 17 can be prevented from being affected, so that the side end surface luminous transaction card 1 can achieve a stable structure and maintain stability during use.

[0051] In addition, depending on the patterns and colors printed on the panel color layer 111 and the panel transparent layer 112, the shading panel 11 and the shading back plate 12 can form different shading effects. For example, when the panel color layer 111 and the panel transparent layer 112 are lighter in color, the shading panel 11 and the shading back plate 12 can still transmit the weak light source at the horizontal light source path 135, so that the side-emitting transaction card 1 can emit a stronger light source at the side end surface through the annular light-emitting side end surface 134, while a weaker light source is emitted at the position of the horizontal light source path 135, thereby allowing the side-emitting transaction card 1 to achieve a gradient luminescence effect.

[0052] In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the above embodiments is that the inductive transmission unit 15 can be an inductive coil (or radio frequency antenna), a contact chip or a combination thereof. In this way, the inductive transmission unit 15 can be non-contact inductively connected to the payment device, so that the inductive transmission unit 15 can obtain the current of the payment device, and the inductive transmission unit 15 can receive power, value-added signals and deduction signals without using active power to reduce manufacturing costs, so that the present invention can meet the needs of actual applications.

[0053] In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the above embodiments is that the light guide frame 13 can be made of a material with better light guiding effect such as acrylic or light guide film, and the light emitting unit 17 includes a plurality of side light emitting diodes 171, each of which corresponds to the annular light incident side end surface 133.

[0054] Based on the above embodiment, when in use, the side end surface luminous transaction card 1 can be brought close to the payment device, so that the inductive transmission unit 15 senses the payment device to obtain power, and the power is provided to the transaction processing control unit 16 and the light emitting unit 17, and the transaction processing control unit 16 performs integrated calculation processing and generates the transaction signal according to the result of the transaction content, and at the same time, the transaction processing control unit 16 transmits the transaction signal to the light emitting unit 17. When the light emitting unit 17 receives the transaction signal from the transaction processing control unit 16, each of the side light emitting diodes 171 of the light emitting unit 17 is driven by the transaction signal to emit light through the annular light incident side end surface 133 and the transverse light source path 135 and then from the annular light emitting side end surface 134, so that the side end surface luminous transaction card 1 has the effect of luminous side end surface (the three-dimensional surface of the side end surface luminous transaction card 1), so as to serve as a transaction reminder of the side end surface luminous transaction card 1, thereby improving the safety and convenience of transactions.

[0055] In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the above embodiments is that the transaction signal includes a transaction success signal or a transaction failure signal, and the light-emitting unit 17 receives the transaction success signal and emits a first light source, or the light-emitting unit 17 receives the transaction failure signal and emits a second light source.

[0056] Based on the above embodiment, when in use, the transaction card 1 with the luminous side surface can be brought close to the payment device, so that the inductive transmission unit 15 senses the payment device to obtain power, and the power is provided to the transaction processing control unit 16 and the light-emitting unit 17, and the transaction processing control unit 16 performs integrated calculation processing and generates the transaction success signal or the transaction failure signal according to the result of the transaction content, and at the same time, the transaction processing control unit 16 transmits the transaction success signal or the transaction failure signal to the light-emitting unit 17. When the light-emitting unit 17 receives the transaction success signal from the transaction processing control unit 16, the transaction success signal or the transaction failure signal is transmitted to the light-emitting unit 17. After receiving the transaction failure signal from the transaction processing control unit 16, each of the side light emitting diodes 171 of the light emitting unit 17 can emit a blue light source according to the driving of the transaction success signal, and the blue light source is emitted from the ring-shaped light-emitting side end face 133 and the transverse light source path 135; and when the light emitting unit 17 receives the transaction failure signal from the transaction processing control unit 16, each of the side light emitting diodes 171 of the light emitting unit 17 can emit a red light source according to the driving of the transaction failure signal, and the red light source is emitted from the ring-shaped light-emitting side end face 133 and the transverse light source path 135. In this way, the side end face of the transaction card 1 with the side end face emitting light (the three-dimensional surface of the transaction card 1 with the side end face emitting light) can emit light sources of different colors according to different transaction results, so as to serve as a transaction reminder for the transaction card 1 with the side end face emitting light, thereby improving the safety and convenience of the transaction.

It should be noted that all changes and substitutions equivalent to the embodiment should be included in the scope of the present invention.
